Genres:Racing
Themes:Action
Game modes:Single player, Multiplayer, Split screen
Story:The Need for Speed series returns, this time reverting back to the 'chase' arcade experience instead of a racing simulation. Top speed racing is the name of the game, where you must outchase not just the opposing drivers, but the cops. Choose from a selection of today's (and yesterday's) top sports cars, including the Ferrari F50, Porsche 911 and a range from the likes of Ford, Corvette, BMW, Lotus, Mercedes, Aston Martin, the McLaren F1 and a lot more. The competitive race mode allows you to take on other drivers and beat them to the line. A selection of tracks allows you to not only dodge incoming traffic, but perform deadly jumps and stunts to receive points. These points, combined with the points recieved from your finishing position, can unlock new cars and tracks. The Hot Pursuit mode combines all the major elements of the competitive mode with the chance to out run the cops. They will throw everything at you to try and stop you, including running you off the road, setting up road blocks and unleashing an attack helicopter equiped with missiles. Three busts by the cops ends the race.Show more

When it released on PC I was torn. I loved the Hot Pursuit mode but I also was disappointed with the inferior physics model. However, years later I learned the PS2 version was far superior, so if you decide to bring this game back PLEASE port the PS2 version.

"Need for Speed 3: Hot Pursuit" and "Need for Speed (6): Hot Pursuit 2" are, in my opinion, the best and defining Need for Speeds of the pre-Underground era. Instead of the city-centric tuning-car fantasy of the later games, the early NfSs titles were all about racing with sports cars in exotic places, being chased by the police - or chasing others as the police. As a result, is has a very different vibe, with a focus on more rural but very beautiful environments. There is a certain world-building "vibe" that got lost in the search for coolness/edgyness of the later titles. It also feels a lot different - dare I say better - than the 2010 "Remake" of Hot Pursuit. One of the defining games of my childhood - PLEASE bring it back, GOG.

Burnout Paradise
Burnout ParadiseEvolve or die. For Paradise, we knew we had to change everything. Burnout was a killer arcade driving game, but for a new generation of hardware and connected player Burnout had to become something more ambitious. Closed tracks made way for an expansive, open city, and we seamlessly synced your friends into the action and let you loose on a heap of cool challenges that unsurprisingly rewarded you for driving like a lunatic. Hey, it’s us after all.
